I'm thinking of lugging out a smaller crt and getting that multicart with all the lightgun games on it. Does anyone have any info on that one?

Never heard of this I would love to try one. I have a nes and crt already set up in my garage just haven't been able to get myself to invest in an everdrive when really all I want it for is light gun games. Any info or links for a cheap light gun games multi cart would be great.

Nah, I can't think of any advantages. They're idiot proof and the menus look better than Everdrive.

Howard - tell us more of these multicarts for light guns.

I haven't ordered one yet, but there was one on the site that shall not be named that contained every NES lightgun game. It wasn't particularly expensive either. I think there are actually a few on that multicart I got ages ago, but I haven't had my NES hooked up in several months so I would have to check.

I just checked... the red 150-in-1 carts like I have contain Wild Gunmen, Hogan's Alley, Duck Hunt, and Bayou Billy (has lightgun stages). So that's 1/4 of the games right there. The only remaining good ones are Barker Bill and Gumshoe imho.

I checked aliexpress and they aren't carrying the multicart anymore.... or at least I couldn't find it with their crappy search function. At one point they had a snes 6 in 1 with a bunch of bazooka.... er lightgun games on it, but I don't see that one either. I guess I should have bought them when I had the chance.

Well I'm trying to find a good lightgun solution. I need to talk to headkaze about expanding his vjoy program and then I can finish my mayflash bar program.

I've also been thinking of using that "broken" wii I picked up as a dedicated lightgun box. Throw all the emulators on there and just add the lightgun games to the main menu. The wii itself has plenty of lightgun games as well, including several arcade ports. I think there is a version of mame as well.

I still prefer real lightguns, it just crts are such a pain in the butt... especially the bigger ones that would make gun games really fun.

There's a new one out called the Forever Games 405 in 1. It has a very exhaustive library and includes Mike Tyson's Punchout. Not that any of us need this... but I'm waiting for the price to drop down from $25.

New hotness is "Forever Duo Games" which combines the 405 in 1 with a 447 in 1. I guess you toggle between lists with the select button. Looking over the game list, it looks comprehensive.

One of you crack open your wallet and spend $25.

I just bought two of the 143-1 you pointed out a while back for $9 each shipped. I'm fixing (pins, Retro bright, cutting lockout leg, & maybe recaping just for practice and to say it was done) some NES for I got my hand on. I'm doing the rehab for fun but will be trying to resell for a profit. Not counting the time spent on it, that's going into the leggier as fun and enjoyment.

Anyone have any experience with SNES multicarts? It looks like the "good ones" are the 101 in 1 and the 68 in 1. There's a slightly better version that's PAL only and a 70 in 1. Have decent menus with alphabetical lists of games. Both about ~$20 shipped.

This isn't for me. I need something with an attractive menu in alphabetical order that's super simple to use. No walls of text or weird loading screens. No inability to save on games that should support save.

This is going to a dude that's been rocking NES/SNES daily since release - he's burned out 1 toaster, given me his top loader, run through a couple of SNES, and was the source of that Retro Duo that magically still worked occasionally despite ~8 broken wires. I've got a RetroN 2 coming in for him and I'm genuinely curious how long it will make it. It adds an SNES eject button so I'm reasonably hopeful - I'm going to preemptively crack it open and bulk up the PCB support, though.

I already tried emulation with this guy via original Xbox. I did everything I could to strip it down. Nice large font, custom themes. Total dud. He wants cartridges.

I went ahead ordered a "Super 101 in 1". It's mostly the same list at the 68 in 1, but drops Donkey Kong Country 1-3 and Breath of Fire 2 and adds a bunch of other stuff.

I did find an Everdrive knock off called "Super China Version" that's ~$34 shipped. Maybe that's the one for me.

The bad: The Retron 2 hates this thing. I had to take out the PCB and use a metal nail file to grind down the outside edges of the edge connector to make it fit. The edge connector is also about 2mm shorter than an authentic cart. Moving the pcb to an authentic case alleviates this somewhat, but you still have to jam it in to make it work. Iím contemplating taking the case to a belt sander and knocking some plastic off the bottom.

EDIT - I played with it again this morning and didn't have nearly so many issues. It could be because the Retron 2 is so new that the cartridge connector hasn't quite broken in yet. The PCB is still slightly shallower and the cartridge connector on the Retron 2 is not as deep as the Retro Duo.

The neutral: menu has no music, but itís clean and mostly alphabetical. You also scroll right to left, which is weird and exotic. There are some Japanese games mixed it, but itís weird junk like Baseball and Firefight. Nothing anybody cares about.

The good: games load in about 5 seconds. Cartridge remembers what you played last when you turn the system on (has it pre selected in the menu). Lots of awesome games on this. No issues at all with it in my Retro Duo. It has both Mario World and Dinosaur Island. The Sf2 variant is Turbo. MK2 and MK3 play great.

Mario All Star is the version that also includes Super Mario World. Which I didn't know existed. That's a lot of Mario!

This is one of my favourite carts in my collection. Yeah, that is a ton of Mario! I plan on busting that out when my daughter is old enough to play games, just to give her the complete history of Super Mario Bros, in one cart.

I never did, I think you consider a famiclone any NOAC. When I say famiclone I mean a console that looks like the famicom. I'd get that, a ram cart from a famicom disk system and it'd be able to handle all nes and famicom games.

SNES. The 101 in 1 is nice, but it's going to a new home soon and it lacks a few games I want to try out.

Best double golden lucky price I can find on an NES Everdrive clone is $64 shipped. Those are getting cheap enough I doubt I'm buying anymore $25 X in 1 cartridges and I'll just wait until the clones creep down in price.

Found this list of SNES hacks that improve original games. I look forward to trying a few of them out:

$64 isn't bad at all.... the best I could find a while ago was around $100. Been thinking of getting a nes everdrive just to play those modded zapper games. Then again I've got a stack of modern games I haven't burned through.... horizion zero dawn is still on my ps4 hdd for some reason. I think I need to switch to god of war or something.

I don’t think I have seen a NES ever drive clone. I must be using the wrong China based on line market place.

Also, the original FinalFantasy is a good example of a game this is improved via fan hack patches. It has a long list of bugs that all have fix’s. The whole this weapon is strong against (undead or what ever) doesn’t work in the original.
